Acting in solidarity with laid-off workers, Hollywood's pampered actors are quitting their well-paid gigs for less glamorous ones: Joaquin Phoenix quit acting for music, Clint Eastwood quit acting for directing, and, in a shocking development, Angelina Jolie announced that "I don't plan to keep acting very long." But this could be just the first wave of self-imposed layoffs. Who's next? Alec Baldwin, Pamela Anderson, and Mena Suvari, for starters. After the jump, we list 24 actors who may quit next.

Clint Eastwood: "[Gran Torino] will probably be my last. I'll be drummed out of it after this one. Every time you do a movie you think, 'Aw, that's enough of that.'"

Alec Baldwin: "I believe it is time for me to do something else. It's absolutely, unequivocally time for me to do something else... I can't do this anymore. It's all about compromising. I hate work. I fucking hate it in every way."

Mena Suvari: "I don't have a strong desire to be an actress my whole life--it's just not fulfilling enough for me... If I hadn't got into modeling, I probably would have studied psychology and might be working on a PHD right now."

Ricky Gervais: "I'm not going to make a career of it [acting], certainly not. I've never wanted to be an actor. I've never thought of myself as one."
